Costs of dispersal (2012, background): “, 2009) or wounding (Solomon, 2003; Soulsbury et al., 2008) are documented.”
INTRASPECIFIC VARIATION IN THE SPATIAL AND SOCIAL ORGANIZATION OF THE AFRICAN STRIPED MOUSE (2005, background): “A combination of ecological constraints and benefits of philopatry (Emlen 1995; Hayes 2000; Solomon 2003) most likely accounts for group living of R. pumilio in the succulent karoo.”
Flexible social structure of a desert rodent, Rhombomys opimus: philopatry, kinship, and ecological constraints (2005, background): “Retention in the natal group (philopatry) is a major factor leading to the formation of social groups in many birds and mammals (Emlen, 1995; Koenig et al., 1992; Solomon, 2003).”
Female striped mice (Rhabdomys pumilio) change their home ranges in response to seasonal variation in food availability (2006, background): “Moreover, dispersal is a complex behavior (Lidicker, 1985), and the decision and motivation (forced or voluntary) to disperse may differ be- tween individuals and circumstances (Lin and Batzli, 2004; Solomon, 2003).”
Separating mortality and emigration: modelling space use, dispersal and survival with robust‐design spatial capture–recapture data (2014, background): “This is a common observation in small rodent populations at high densities, presumably due to high costs of dispersal and settlement at high regional population densities (Solomon 2003).”
